Default Ripe tomatoes
Does anyone have any tips on how to pick nice ripe tomatoes? I always seem to get ones that are not ripe enough or over ripe. Any tips would be appreciated.

They should be nice and red, without green or yellow on them. You can usually tell if they're overripe because they start getting too soft. Bright red firm tomatoes should be just right.
